Is it normal to be ultra-detached?

Is it normal to feel really detached from most people? It's like there's a wall between me and everyone who isn't in my family. There's even this wall between myself and almost all of my friends.

    Since I've been on meds I'm very detached.

  • I have the capacity for good relationships and friendships, but something always gets in the way. Also, when I'm with a group of people I usually feel like I can't connect. WTF?

    I feel the same way, it is normal. Describe more accurately how exactly you feel. Do you feel as though you don't love them or do you feel as though they could never understand you? Do you feel as though they wouldn't love you if you weren't related?

    • My parents def love me, and I love them, but our relationship suffers. I can't tell them anything, and they never tell me anything. There's a divide between us that has basically always been there. I guess this is normal?

        i think you are normal. what you said about parents never telling you anything, well, parents usually do not burden their children (regardless of the child's age) with their problems.
